Kyle Busch says "it was racin'"
When Kyle Busch bumped Dale Jr. at the Richmond race, everyone thought it was Kyles fault. But when you look at the replays, it clearly shows that Dale was also crowding Kyle. Just hard racing between two drivers that wanted to win. Hard to accept for Jr fans, yet easy to accept for Kyle fans.
Was nice to see Mark Martin finish so well. He almost took 2nd place from Kyle Busch, but 3rd is not bad for someone who is racing a few races this year.
Michael Waltrip was forced to sit out the rest of the race, or as NASCAR calls it, he was 'PARKED' for ramming Casey Mears. He basically rammed and pushed him for a good half of the straightway, something that was uncalled for. Michael is fighting for survival for his team, his sponsors, and the 35th spot.
Denny Hamlin. What a tough race for him - again. Leads almost all the laps until a tire starts going down in the final laps. Then he allows the tire to get torn up to show either his frustration or to help his teammate. Either way, NASCAR had him sit for two laps where he finishes 25th. Tough luck, but if you would have come in for two tires before and not stopped on the track, you could have been better off.
Another great race from Richmond.
Congrats to Clint Bowyer.
